أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ:
أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: لَأَنْظُرَنَّ إِلَى صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ " فَرَأَيْتُهُ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ كَبَّرَ فَرَفَعَ - يَعْنِي يَدَيْهِ - فَرَأَيْتُ إِبْهَامَيْهِ بِحِذَاءِ أُذُنَيْهِ ". فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ الْحَدِيثِ، وَقَالَ: " ثُمَّ هَوَى فَسَجَدَ، فَصَارَ رَأْسُهُ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ مِقْدَارَ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ

✧ I came to Madinah and said: “I will certainly observe the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” I saw him when he began the prayer say the takbir and raise—meaning his hands—and I saw his thumbs level with his ears. He mentioned part of the hadith and said: “Then he descended and prostrated, and his head was between his palms for the amount of time he began the prayer.”
